No on the auto reset the problems are
1 how do you define "standard value"??
2 what about folks that have their draw distance chopped short for
performance reasons??
3 or folks that have their draw distance further out on purpose??
4 even if you somehow define a system based "standard value" what
happens when somebody knows they are going into a high prim area and
sets their draw distance short
SO THEY DON'T CRASH ON ENTRY (or take 15 minutes trying to rez)
